2024 Year-End Review & Plans

NotebookLM Summary: These journal entries from November 2023 and January 2024 document the author's daily life, including media consumption (YouTube videos and a film), personal projects (creating custom Magic: The Gathering cards and a technology dependency chart), and self-improvement goals (tracking steps and writing weekly, monthly, and yearly reviews). The entries reveal struggles with maintaining a consistent review schedule and lapses in self-care, along with plans for future tasks and technology-related projects within a Minecraft world. The author also notes missing information and expresses concern about several self-care tasks. The entries show a blend of personal reflections and practical to-do lists.

My Response: The randomly chosen journal entries for this episode are from the beginning of 2024 and earlier, so it's wild that it chose to label it as an end of 2024 summary. I find it funny that it calls me stating that RescueTime wasn't capturing everything as "questioning" if everything was captured, and then recommends it as a 3rd-party app for time tracking, when my notes included a rant about how Apple broke it and all 3rd-party time-tracking systems. You can't time-track in iOS anymore. Even using Shortcuts to jury-rig a time-tracker doesn't really work.

I also find it funny how it pretends to know about Isaac Arthur's YouTube channel even though it lacks any context for that, and claims I have a realistic goal to write notes on all of his videos when the note was about how my goal is not realistic.

It actually captures the notes about autism fairly well at first, but then ascribes some comments to me that were quoted from someone else.
